sure makes it easy to get to tight spaces and put a locking grip on it. Good enough for arteries and it works for wires and little dropped parts in tight spots too.

the guy i work with is a tool... does that count? lol.

but on a serious note...

a digital camera is a good thing to have around if you're forgetful. even if its a cheap one. taking pictures of something before you take it apart is always helpful when putting it back together. just doesn't help finding the bolts that you misplaced...

I take lots of pics before i dive into a big project.

but, i was talking all sorts of tools. like stuff you use to fix crap around the house, build things, cordless drills, hammers, etc

a BFH is always around when i need it. i don't do much home repair though, so i can't help ya there.

no one put duct tape though. i mean, honestly, how many things can you fix with duct tape? the list is endless!!!

At work I use a dremel tool, soldering iron, f-4 tape/electrical tape a lot (usually for repairing comm-cables). Can't really say that I use many tools at home other than on my car though. Well I do have a blade sharpener on my key ring and a few precision tools that I use to repair my mp3 players and such.

Second the duct tape - and I have some really big tie wraps too - they can be a good second set of hands at times.

i have a lot of tools. my dremel see's a lot of use. i use it to trim my dogs' nails too.

My leatherman multi-tool. When I have a small job, typically wiring or something in the interior, I just use my multi-tool. Saves me getting out a tool bag because it's already on my belt.

When Im not wrenchin' Im cookin, so I like my kitchen "tools". Some of my favorites are a garlic press, my vacuum sealer, my braun coffee maker, and cheap little sandwich maker (like a waffle iron for hot sammiches).

When my now ex-wife and I moved from Oregon to NM, I decided to sell all my woodworking stuff. I had a really nice custom built wide table saw with a runnout roller stand, and a router table attachement. I also had a 12" planer and a belt/disk sander. My shop had a built in 12hp/50gal dust collection vac system. Little did I know she would leave a year later and only wanted to move to ABQ to be able to run to her parents when she left. ... I would love to be able to afford to get back into woodworking, but I took up this automotive hobby and now have no rrom in the shop, much less the money for the tools.

10" "dismantable" table saw and table.
2 cordless drills.
a few dozen screwdrivers from long handle to watch makers size.
a bunch of computers, laptops, ipods, ipad and netbooks for research/diagnostics.
a kitchen knife, a butter knife and a dull rusty spoon.
electrical diagnostic tools like multimeter, circuit testers and so on.
air compressor, nailers, tools of such.
a Wii, PS3, Xbox with Kinects (to work on boredom).
a 5lb dead blow hammer for the wife when i need a few moments to myself.
a flashlight.

Is this the sorta thing you are looking for?
